Reference Manual for the ADSL Modem Wireless Router DG834G

•WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined eavesdropper. This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.

•WPA-802.1x,WPA2-802.1x.Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with user authentication implemented using IEE 802.1x and RADIUS servers.

•WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA2-PSK (AES). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) using a pre-shared key to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA make it virtually impossible to compromise. Because this is a relatively new standard, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited.
